A Comparison of Gas Exchange Models in the Estimation of CO2 Fluxes in the South Atlantic South of Africa for the Summer Season of 2008/2009 by Rainier, stephanie Megan

“…The cubic relationship from Wanninkhof and McGillis (1999) showed the smallest response at low wind speeds but had the greatest response to the uncertainty in the wind speed product in medium and high wind regimes. We also calculated regional and seasonal averages of the CO2 flux with the five gas transfer velocities based on the different relationships between gas transfer velocity and wind speed. …”

Passive surveillance of STI pathogens in Cape Town, South Africa: A six-month molecular epidemiology study by Moodley, Clinton

“…Conclusions: There is a significantly higher than expected rate and difference in organism distribution of STI prevalence in Cape Town, South Africa as compared with global and regional estimates. The use of molecular testing methods may improve detection, providing rapid results, which may allow for tailored guidelines and interventions to limit spread and resistance.…”
